O.k. so I bit again on a low budget Thai horror
and the taste was not pleasant. This is so monotonously bland that I almost
wanted to climb into the coffin and take a long sleep. The acting is awful,
the music is annoying and the film would have felt stretched at thirty
minutes. At ninety-seven minutes it felt like it would never end – though
oddly some of the filler was the best part of the film. This is your basic
the dead come back for revenge motif, but never has a ghost done it in
such a lackluster and leisurely manner. The ghost union should object to
this type of tedious portrayal of themselves. Have a work ethic damn it
- kill people, don't just loiter about!

Mali is dead – drowned by an unknown assailant
in the river. It turns out in the follow up investigation that Mali was
the village pin cushion – she seems to have slept with just about anything
that moved while she was alive and even manages to seduce the undertaker
after she is dead! She was also two months pregnant and was demanding that
everyone she had slept with to take responsibility for the child – none
of the men were thrilled with this and thus many had a motive for killing
her. Her corpse is laid out for burial rites for seven days and during
this time her ghost comes and goes as it pleases. She chats with various
people and promises revenge, but annoyingly keeps forgetting to tell anyone
who murdered her. If she had done so it would have saved everyone a lot
of trouble and a few lives as well and me from having to watch this film
– but some things you want to do for yourself I suppose. At one point her
baby pops out and starts running after one of the suspects and it looked
like this might get fun – but the baby was never spotted again though there
are reports that it became a DJ in a Bangkok hiphop dance club.

Now the real highlight of the film was complete
filler that came out of nowhere and made no sense in the context of the
film, but I was only too happy to see it by that time. The investigating
cop wanders down to the river with his very large-chested girlfriend (who
we had not seen previously nor ever again after this scene) and she decides
for no particular reason to walk into the water thus creating the equivalent
of a Thai wet sari scene – but with the cop looking bored as if he
has seen this show before, she decides to take it off and take him into
the barn. Wow – a murky Thai nude scene – still quite rare in Thai commercial
film, but I have noticed an easing off of their restrictions in this regard
as of late – though possibly these were straight to video films and thus
ducked under the very stringent censor radar. In an amusing out take at
the end, the busty girl was having a heck of a hard time raising the wet
shirt above the two rather large obstacles in its path and she breaks down
laughing!
